Frequently Asked Questions
Sig Sauer P238 Extreme for sale
Is a SIG Sauer P238 a good gun?
"Good" depends on your needs. The P238 is a reliable single-action subcompact .380 ACP favored for concealed carry. Reviewers praise its build quality and 1911-style ergonomics, though .380 offers less stopping power than 9mm. Typically priced around $605. Best suited for shooters prioritizing compact size over caliber power.
Does a .380 kick less than a 9mm?
Yes, .380 ACP generates less recoil than 9mm due to lighter bullets and lower powder charge. Most shooters notice the difference. The tradeoff is reduced energy and stopping power compared to 9mm.
Are a .38 and a .380 the same?
No, they're different cartridges. .380 ACP is rimless and designed for semi-automatic pistols; .38 Special is rimmed and made for revolvers. Both fire similar-diameter bullets, but .38 Special typically uses heavier loads with more stopping power. They're not interchangeable.
